INSPIRATIONAL POEMS

STAR BROTHERS

I wait upon a starry night
To see my space brothers in their flight
But nothing moves around the sky
I fail to see, and wonder why.

My feelings of impatience grow
I wait and watch to see them show
The night is long, the stars move not
My wonderment is all I've got.

Beneath the stars the horizon moves
The dawn is breaking, and light ensues.
My watching and waiting is not in vain
In my heart I know again -

I'll see my brothers, sisters all
When the stars begin to fall.
The light will always with me be
And one day soon my soul set free.

United again with those I love
And in God's light we'll find above
The heaven on earth that's promised true
Will become reality, shining through.

And then the doubt will flee from all
As on the earth my brothers tall
Shall walk with man and with him be
For all his life in eternity.

ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Angels are real, as real as can be
And I know they always watch over me.
The love that flows from the heart of but one
Can uplift me in times when I am undone.

I know that the angels are always with me.
No doubt of this truth in my heart that I see.
In times of weakness He gives me strength -
Archangel Gabriel, my breadth and my length.

The love and the wisdom is ever ensuing
As throughout the ages He stood by enduring
While my little soul grieved for what had become
A torment of sorts, in a world just begun.

I know that the day will come sooner than soon
When, by the light of the most glorious moon
I'll soon be again in the land that I left
And home again come, no longer bereft.

We know it has sounded, the trumpet has called
To all of us homeward on heaven's prom'sed word
The light of the future is the darkness of the past
And soon my sweet Angel will be one of the last -

To leave this dear planet as he follows us home
With the times of the past like a poem undone,
For the future is waiting, I hear the call now.
The light of tomorrow shines on my brow.

So lead me dear Angel through weakness and strife
And give me the strength that your name gives to life
To lead others on to the place where we'll be
At peace then forever, in immortality.

LIFE IS HARD

Narrow and steep is the path of life
And sometimes I ponder why I chose such strife
The journey began with a long silver thread
And won't be gone 'til this life is dead.

I find that the struggle is continually barred
My family make life ever so hard
But I know that I chose them for the learning and pain
That always results in a conflict again.

I feel like a loner, out on a limb
There's no one to catch me, should I fall in.
The ocean below is so deep and wide,
Sometimes I wish I could swim with the tide.

The pull and the sway, the jolts and the fray
Reminds me I have much to learn still today.
I chose this life - the experience to learn
All that I could, so that I can return -

At the end of my journey
To ascend with my gain
To the starry light kingdom
And to home once again.

PROMISE OF A NEW DAY

A new day has dawned for our dear Mother Earth
The promise of ages has given her birth
The starry helpers, her change did assist
And earth's New Day, with love has been kissed.

The gem of a dewdrop, the light of sun's ray
Has given its blessing to the Earth's New Day
The peace and the love which now fills the lands
Is a blessing from heaven to the seas and the sands.

This little planet of nature's intent
Gives rise now to peace, for that's what was meant
From the very beginnings of its previous birth.
And now we hear angels laughing with mirth.

For this little planet now shows such great light
That the stars that surround it appear dim in its sight
The earth is now heaven, ans so from afar
It looks like a wonder, a beautiful star.

LOVE IS ALL THERE IS

When all of the hatred, the greed and war
That's been on earth, will be no more
The silence that engulfs us all
Within, we find that love is all.

For within our hearts, when we take away
The evil that does block our way
The truth will once again reveal
That love is surely all we feel.

And when this love so freely flows
We start to realize what the Great One knows
That all of life is from one source
When Love is all, there's no remorse.

So children dear, of one true God
Know that all exists in love
And when your hearts are filled again
You'll know the truth - that Love's your name.

THE EARTH CALLED GAIA

The earth's our home
And here we stay -
For all the starseeds
Wanting to stray.

We chose to come
To help the earth
To heal its wounds
And assist its birth.

For the earth is changing
It's about to turn
The future is written
In the etheric womb.

The time has come
For earth's return
Into the galaxy -
To be reborn.

The time has come
The prophets say
Our earth has strayed
So far away -

From the purpose of light
That was its meant
Now a lost soul
Has been its bent.

So listen well
You starseeds all
The earth has had
Its final call.

The trumpet has sounded
And we've heard the call
Back into the flock
Of the angelic hall.

For the time has come
For the earth we say
The heralding in
Of Gaia's new day.

The time has come
For peace at last
And our work on earth
Is almost past.

So look to the light
You children of stars
And lift your hearts
To Venus and Mars.

For soon you will see
The old earth's no more
And a new earth has dawned
Forever more.

TO ALL LOST STARSEEDS

To all of the starseeds who've now lost their way
through not fitting in, in this world of today
"Take heart dear children, for this is the test"
The Angels of heaven cry out in their breast.

The sorrow and loneliness we've all surely felt
Is recorded in records of God's starry belt
For not one precious deed is ever unseen
In heaven's true sight, for what it may mean.

For truth is around us, it's just that we've not
Acknowledged or seen it, we had such a lot
Of blindness and darkness that we have been through
That the light of tomorrow just does not seem true.

Know that within you the truth still resides
It's carried along in the oceans and tides
And when it's released, there will be so much light
That the angels in heaven will dance in delight.

So give up your vices, your sorrows and dread
For all that surrounds you will soon seem so dead
In the light of tomorrow when dark is no more
The beauty of truth will reign evermore.

A NEW BABY

I heard the news of joy today
A new little baby, born this day
'A new little starseed has just been born'
I heard as I crept over fresh green lawn.

The hope of the future, the light of new day
Is all in the promise of this little babe
For the soul within has just left its star
The promise of the future has come from afar.

In years yet to come, the teacher will rise
And all of mankind will see in his eyes
That the way earth's been, was not in God's plan
And so His own helper had come to help man.

So look to the youngsters, the children - new birth,
For here in the cradle lies the future of earth.
Lift up your hearts and rejoice now and sing
And join with your brothers in the light that they bring.

RELEASE JUDGEMENT AND FIND PEACE

How easy it is, but to say, not to do
'Release all judgements, and peace be with you'
But when it comes to this physical world
It's harder than hard as the day is unfurled.

If only we knew that each time we judge
We are judging ourselves and holding a grudge
To release is so simple to say to another
But oh, not so easy, to forgive a brother.

But as we release each moment within
And let go the blockages of self, we begin
To reach towards oneness, a long distant chore
But rewards are many and always reap more.

So if you can say to your brother today
'I forgive you and love you, I'll not judge this day'
Then each little moment you win on this score -
Will be one conquered moment and love will flow more.

Towards all of mankind, as each step is trod
Another forgives you, as he acknowledges God
It starts from a seedling and spreads out to all
And once you have found this, then peace is your call.

WAKE UP

When all can acknowledge
Who they truly are
And they see the light
Of their own shining star.

Then darkness dissolves
At the breaking of dawn
And lightness will rise
As the New Day is born.

So wake up you starseeds
For now you can claim
Who you really are now
And take back your reign.

The trumpet has sounded
The call has gone out
With joy you can rise up
And gleefully shout.

There are many more teachers
Than thousand, one-forty-four
And your light now is needed
To make up the score.

So wake up light workers
And know who you are
For one day soon
You'll find your own star.

Rise high now dear children
And sing loud with glee
For the wake up call's sounded
And soon you'll be free.

FLIGHT OF THE SPIRIT

The spirit that's caught
In the dark lower planes
Is waiting to find
Release from its pains.

It hovers and hinders
The people on earth
As it takes all its energy
From the place of its birth.

But spirits need love
No matter who they be
And we can send love
To set their soul free.

We can surround them with light
And colours so bright
And show them the path
That is waiting to lead.

Them into the light
And a new chance to see -
How they kept their soul
Bound and locked with a key.

Their chance then becomes
Renewal at last
And they see that their life
Can now grow so fast.

And once they release
Their bonds of the dark
Their path then leads upward
With visions so stark.

They see what they've done
Or failed to do
And remorse then sets in
As they feel these things too.

But after a time
They see what to do
To make amends then
With recompense too.

So towards the light
Their spirit then sails
As the spirit helpers
Remove the nails -

That had kept them bound
And now they've free
To pursue their life
In eternity.

WHAT IS LIFE?

Life was meant
To be lived in joy
We were not meant
To grovel and crawl.

The purpose of life
Is to learn to love
In whatever form comes
From below, or above.

The experience that
We have while on earth
Is what gives meaning
To our lowly birth.

For love and joy
Is all we can take
Back with us when
We go at our wake.

Our only true purpose
In being thus born
Is to live to the fullest
'Til the trumpet horn -

Sounds from above
When our time is gone
And we take life's leave
With our treasures forgone.

So all that life is
As seen from afar
Is the love in our hearts
And our shining star.

THE OLD MAN

The old man walked the street this day
Wondering where he'd gone astray
His back was bent, his hair snow white
He really wondered at his plight.

He'd started life from the bottom up
He'd earned his keep, had enough to sup
He'd seen his wealth come, as his need
Yet surely there was more to heed.

If all this living had brought him gain
Where in life had he come in vain?
He felt that there just had to be
A better place, like you and me.

The grog behind the cupboard door
Reminded him to drink no more
For the doctor had said he wouldn't last
If he didn't go on a drinking fast.

He knew how his problems all were caused
By introspection, he had paused
And seen his life in a different way
And knew what he had to do this day.

He op'nd wide the cupboard door
And threw away what he needed no more
He stood upon the doorstep then
And prayed to God to help him mend.

Before he knew, an angel bright
Stood by his side in wonderous light
The angel said, "I'm here to help,
The call you made was one from self".

So then the light engulfed him full
And in the arms of the angel's pull
He was swept away in love and joy
As a young and innocent little boy.

FOLLOWING MY DREAM

I'll follow my dream
And somehow I'll cope
With all of the doubts
As I keep on in hope.

The star that I see
In the far distant light
Will be my staff
And my comfort so bright.

I'll keep reaching for my dreams
Whatever comes my way
And stay steadfast to the truth
No matter what others say.

I'll follow my star and reach for the skies
And one day I will see
The hopes and dreams of all mankind
Find their true reality.

For each one has their own dreams too
And if each follows his star
Their dream will surely come so true
As they bring them from afar.

WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS GONE

When someone you love has gone away
You feel bereft - sad with dismay
It's hard to stop the tears that flow
You are in such grief, and sad sorrow.

It's times like this that you really find
An inner strength and peace of mind
Because you soon realize something so true
That the one that you lost, lost you too.

But take heart, because you soon will see
That around every corner some comfort will be
It does take time, but time's our gift
And once we see it, we feel less bereft.

In time comes the comfort that we miss
In the form of an angel's kiss,
The angel bears tidings of comfort and light
And carriessuch peace and hope in its flight.

For those that we lose are not far away,
They never do leave us, its we who stray
As we close off our hearts in sorrow and grief
We lock them out, and they can't give relief.

For one day soon, it won't seem too long
It may be years, but they'll pass like a song
We will meet again on that mystical shore
With arms wide open, and embrace once more.

THE FLOOD

A flood has been let loose in me
A torrent of poems, flooding free
It's like an avalance has fallen down
All of the poems, forming a crown.

And as a poem the words do flow
Upon the paper white as snow
My pen stops not from dusk til dawn
As words flow out like a raging storm.

Like torrents from a waterfall
The words, like droplets began to fall.
I couldn't stem the flowing rain
Like gems of gold they are my gain.

And one day I will read a book
And find within that treasured nook
That the poems I wrote so long ago
Inspired others, and helped then grow.

SOMETIMES

Sometimes I feel so terribly tired
I can't find a way to let go of the pain.
The distress I feel is so very real
I wonder if I'll ever be happy again.

The tears do come, and there's no stopping them
I feel like a wretch and I'm tired as well,
It's so very hard just to find who I am
And the person I see seems locked in a cell.

I wonder if my angel is really still there,
Because he seems distant, I can't feel his cares.
But the tiredness will ease, of that I am sure,
And I'll know yet again of the love that he bears.

I suddenly feel a warmth in my heart
And know that the truth is really inside
It feels like this love is surely still there,
As I rest and lay all my trials aside.

I was losing the thread in this test of my life
But the light did win through as I started to see
The love that was there so true in my heart
And the splendor of truth that will soon set me free.

I LOOKED UPON A PURPLE HUE

I looked upon a purple hue.
And marvelled at its sight
The soft unfolding petals all,
A gardener's sheer delight.

I saw each tiny petal unfurl
As they faced towards the sun.
And once again I marvelled still
That God's left nought undone.

Within each hidden blossom
Of a garden burning bright
With hues of every colour rare
Encompassing all in sight.

It makes me wonder that these things
Can bring to life such joy,
For every blossom big and small
God gave us to enjoy.

OUR OFFER TO EARTH

The earth has given us our life
So freely does she give.
She yields her body for all mankind
To nourish and to live.

For man has treated the earth so bad
He rapes and pillages still.
And yet she keeps on giving so
Ev'n when he poisons and makes her ill.

There is only so much the earth can take
Of all the attacks upon her.
She had laid dormant all this time
Despite explosions that occur.

We have to stop our destruction now
For the time has come today.
The earth needs to awaken too
And will surely have her way.

The earth will then rebel in kind
With earthquakes and wild weather,
If man does not give love to man
And treat him like a brother.

For us to show we are sincere
We offer to the earth
No more destructions of her bowels
And peace upon her girth.

THE ROSE


I saw the rose a-blooming
And in my heart I knew
The rose was just a symbol
Of the awakening of the few.

For in awakening one by one
A chain of sorts begun.
It rippled like a stone upon
The lake when it was flung.

And as I watched that rose unfold
I knew that I was seeing
The awakening then of all mankind
As from darkness he was fleeing.

I saw the light descend upon
The earth that lovely day,
And knew the rose symbolic of
The truth to come our way.

WHAT IS TRUTH?

Truth resides within the heart
Of every single soul,
The doubts and fears of daily life
Are not the truth at all.

It's only when we go within
And find our light a-shining,
That we start to glimpse the truth at all
Within our inner lining.

For buried deep in everyone
Is all we need to know.
We don't have to ask an outside source
To give us proof and show.

We learn to trust our inner voice -
That gem within our seed,
And soon we know its powerful truth
Is all we really need.

THE SWORD OF TRUTH

The sword of truth stands straight and tall
A beacon of light to all.
He holds the sword of truth and power
And stands over eight feet tall.

My angel now is here, to call
His legions back to heaven.
The flaming sword beside him stands
Symbolic of his weapon.

For Michael carries only truth
As all his angels know.
He won the battle with Lucifer
And now he's here to show -

All the children here on earth
That he has come unscathed.
As he led his army towards the light
In white, they all were bathed.

He is my angel, and he's here
Just waiting for the veils
To be lifted from all mankind
As the truth of light prevails.

'The time is come', I heard him say,
'This is your only chance
To leave behind the darkness deep
And find light in my lance'.

So I laid aside the gloomy thoughts
That had kept me in despair.
And as I reached for the sword of truth
I found darkness wasn't there.

For truth had won this battle full
And I knew that this was he,
Who had given me the sword of truth
Forever now in me.

THE CRYSTAL OF LIGHT

He gazed upon a crystal bright
And colours seemed to spin.
For in his crystal he could see
The future of his kin.

He didn't dare unlock the storm
That raged within the ball.
He closed his eyes until all stilled
Enclosed him like a shawl.

Upon awakening he then saw
That the crystal had begun
To open up a future bright
As it appeared like a sun.

It burned so bright in every hue
As the colours now appeared
To form into a tranquil sea
Of the things that he had feared.

He looked at it, and looked again
And as he looked, he saw,
That the crystal ball within his reach
Had dropped upon the floor.

He knew the future had not yet been
And he could chose his own.
So he forgot the crystal ball and chose
To create his future throne.

MY DREAM FOR THE FUTURE

I dreamed a dream that I was high
Up in the sky so blue.
I could see my wings and hear them swish,
As angels around me flew.

I marvelled at the wonders then
And the colours of my companions.
Their beauty, love and truth stood out
As we soared over all the canyons.

I looked upon the sleeping form
That I knew was my body.
I knew that this was just a dream
And for me it was a hobby.

I loved to dream of flying so,
And the angels gave me flight.
I knew within my heart that I
Was a creature of the night.

I loved to be so high and free
But I knew I had to return
To the life that I had still on earth -
The one where I'd been born.

THE GODDESS COLEENA

The Goddess Coleena spoke to me:
'This is especially for you,' said she,
My heart lept with great ecstacy and joy
As my vibrations rose, their song to employ.

'Your life path by you was chosen', she said,
'For just such a purpose as had been led.
Do not let others from this path you sway,
For the truth is awakening in you today'.

I list'ned and realized that the path that I chose
Was but one in many of all that arose.
I realized my choices unlimited were
As I rose from my bed and stood on the floor.

I upwards stretched towards the heaven
And saw that it was ten to seven.
And as it was a brand new day
I knew what I would do today.

DAILY THINGS & THE LIFE BOAT

Daily, daily things we see
Like money, jewels and candy tree.
These things are many and hard to resist
Our life on earth, so filled, will persist.

So what of things like peace and joy?
They seem unreachable as a child's toy.
For the things that here are in demand
Are money, gems and candy land.

It's not until a tragedy
And loss of a life that we start to see
That what is really precious and rare
Is the life of those we lost, so fair.

When this sorrow turns life about,
With grief we cry, and loudly shout.
We start to see that the real true gems
Are the sharing of sorrows, and compassionate friends.

For through this loss of one we love,
Our life begins to see above
That money, wealth and candy cane
Really don't help when life's in vain.

These 'things' we see are not real at all,
As life moves on to a greater hall,
And what then holds our life afloat
Is the love of those in our own life boat.

AS EARTH EVOLVES

As all things do, life e're evolves
And we are now approaching,
A time on earth when all things here
Will vibrate to a higher dimension.

As these things start to happen now
The changes in us we'll feel.
We might experience sudden bursts
Of times that don't seem real.

Even things like fish and weed
Will lift beyond their dimension,
As everything is raised up higher
For that was God's intention.

The animals upon the earth
Will be used for food no longer.
As mankind starts to realize
With just veges he's much stronger.

For we share this planet with animals
And they are our earth brothers,
And as their vibrations raise up too
They evolve, as do all others.

So be kind to all who share the earth
For you never know when you'll see,
That the cow you ate for tea last night
Was one of your own kind.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

One day at a time is all we need -
No need to make life torment.
One day at a time is all we do
To live right in the moment.

For when there is no past to judge
And no future then to fear,
We see each moment as totally new
Like a child without a care.

When we cease to expect a right or wrong,
Or a black and white type answer,
We see everything for what it is,
No illness we get, like cancer.

For it is our worries, fears and dreads
That cause our body harm.
And it's all our thoughts of what should be
That sets off our alarm.

So if we let go of our dreads
And take each precious day,
Like it is new, then nothing more
Can hurt us in this way.

We find our life improves tenfold
And judgements like good and bad,
Can cause us harm no more this day
Every moment makes us glad.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DIE?

When our time on earth has passed
And we have finally breated our last,
We start to see where we have gone
And that our journey's just begun.

We see what we had once believed,
But not for long, are we deceived.
For what we thought that we would see,
For us, becomes reality -

But only for a time at least
We see this thought seems real at best,
Then someone comes to show the way,
And we find much more on our path this day.

For our path is then unlimited,
And nothing can stop our growth upward,
As we travel on to further light
Our past unravels in our sight.

So new doors open, after a time
And as we go upwards our shine,
We find all those we lost before
Are waiting for us at our death's door.

REBIRTH IN NATURE

A new sapling springs from the fertile ground.
A tree that begins with a sapling, soon brown
It isn't long before that small tree
Grows enough to shelter me.

And as it grows I watch it tower
Over the roof, so full of power.
And I can't believe this great big tree
Was once a sapling, smaller than me.

Each season I watch my tree change further.
It loses its leaf, and grows another.
It goes from bare, to a brand new bud
Each season changing, like chewing its cud.

The years fly by and I watch it age,
As it starts to die, I'm filled with rage.
This beautiful tree, so straight and tall
Would never die.. but I watched it fall.

As the woodcutters came and felled it well,
My sorrow was filled and my eyes did swell.
I saw my lovely tree taken away
To make some firewood for winter, they say.

My eyes in sorrow dropped to the ground
And I saw beneath my feet I'd found,
A small little sapling, so new and green
Just where my big tree had once been.

I knew then that nature's miracle cure
For all of nature was one so sure.
For nature had made everything come alive
And in a brand new way, it would surely thrive.

BEAUTY OF OUR PLANET

The birds are singing songs of praise
At the beauty around me, I sit and gaze.
I smell the perfume of the summer flowers
I'd simply like to stay here hours.

The beauty just surrounds me now.
I feel the breeze as trees gracefully bow.
The tall straight neat gravillea tree
The garden of herbs, it brings me glee.

I look up t'wards the sky azure
The tall trees tower to the sky so clear.
Trees and trees of every type
Creating beauty, oh so bright.

Before I knew, I upwards flew
And saw the earth with an eagle's view.
I saw rich reds and verdant green
The yellows and blues, the colours teem.

The vibrant purples, gold and brown
Are but a gem in nature's crown.
The intricate fauna that roams the earth
So varied and wonderful in their birth.

I'd hate to see this beauty die
I viewed it with wonder from the sky.
'Tis such a planet of beauty rare
We can't destroy it - we have to care!

A sudden flame bursts from the mound
Its crackling fire, its frightening sound.
The earth has been ripped limb from limb.
The whole earth's quaking with the din.

The future of our lovely earth
Is in the hands of mankind's birth.
And only he does hold the key
To preserve this life on land and sea.

For if our earth to perish were
The joys of nature would not occur.
We could never recreate
The songs of birds, at a future date.

Oh, mankind please see what you're doing
To this lovely earth I'm viewing.
For its beauty so rare will not last
If nature's gift she can't entrust.

THE CRYSTAL STAIR

I climbed upon the crystal stair
Where I was going I knew not where.
I lifted my gown, my feet to reveal
And saw my reflection in the steps so real..

What I saw was a sight to behold,
My gown was radiant with sequins of gold.
I felt so priveleged on the crystal stair
So upwards I climbed, as my future was there.

Above me I saw a castle bold
With halls of light, and bridges of gold.
As I climbed I counted with glee,
The steps, they numbered thirty-three.

The hall I found had every book,
And within this place I found my nook.
For tucked within each tiny shelf
Was a treasure of heaven - my future self.

* * * * * *

HOME AGAIN

I travel through the stars at night
The milky way goes past my sight.
I feel excitement as ere I fly
Further, further into the sky.

My feet are planted on the ground
They don't seem real, because I've found
My mind is travelling through the stars,
I pass the planets, Mercury and Mars.

I know my home is getting nearer
I feel the thrill within me quiver.
Any moment now I'll see
The star that's home - home for me.

I travel further onwards now
I've reached the vastness, and don't know how,
But my star is close within my reach,
I see it now - like a glowing peach.

My soul is welcomed by my star
As my yearnings now no longer are.
My planet glows for me - for us.
My planet's name? It's Sirius.
